AmaWaterways continues to meet the growing demand for European river cruises – including Douro River cruises – for Spanish-speakers.
The cruise line is adding its popular “Enticing Douro” itinerary to its Latin Touch series for 2025. The cruise for Spanish-speaking guests will depart November 25, 2025, aboard the 102-guest AmaDouro.
7-night Cruise, Roundtrip Porto
Rambling vineyards and charming native farms cling to the steep sides of the Douro River Valley, creating an incomparable backdrop to one of Europe’s most unspoiled regions and to Port country— the world’s oldest demarcated wine region. Sail roundtrip from Porto, the beautiful “City of Bridges”; visit Regua, the ‘capital’ of the Douro Valley; and marvel at Salamanca, the UNESCO-designated “Golden City.” Taste wines from historic wineries and soak up the genuine beauty of one of Europe’s most unadulterated landscapes.
After departing from Porto, the ship will sail to Vega de Terrón, Spain, before returning to Porto. Along the way, guests can take a day trip to Salamanca, a Roman city and the seat of the Spanish language.
They can also enjoy a traditional Portuguese lunch in Regua, take a tour of the Palacio de Mateus, and explore Porto’s UNESCO-designated historic quarter.
Other excursions include a trip to the Quinta da Avessada wine museum, a hike to Castelo Rodrigo and an exploration of the Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios.
Guests also have the option of adding a 3-night pre-cruise land option in Lisbon.
The 8-day AmaWaterways sailing will be hosted by a bilingual cruise manager and will feature a daily tour with Spanish-speaking guides. The daily cruise programs, the daily newsletter and the onboard menus will all be in Spanish. Guests can also participate in Zumba classes and enjoy Latin-inspired entertainment.
